Linux is hardware intensive yes.
OpenBSD is the best OS to run on old low capability hardware.
I disagree. The ARM ports allow Linux to be run on embedded hardware
which are very low in power consumption. Please don't rush to sweeping
conclusions based more on opinion than fact.
I run Debian on an NSLU2, an embedded system, which has a 133 MHz
processor and 32 MB RAM, and it performs acceptably well. I have also
run fairly recent kernels on old-ish computer hardware without
problems.

Take a look at cdrdao Homepage:

With "cdrdao" you can create an exact image of a CD and then
burn this image on a CD-R. Specially useful in case of VCD's.
